Production
Filming took place in Georgia between August and October 2019 in the cities of Tbilisi, Rustavi, and mainly Vaziani where the majority of the shooting took place. It took the production team over 2 months to build the sets for Mecca and Medina as imagined in 622 AD. It was essential to ensure historical accuracy in every aspect, so everything was meticulously researched by the production company, Enlightened Kingdom.

Stephenson believes the film will cater for the appetite of Muslims and Western audiences alike, stating:

"It is a wonderful epic story full of Shakespearean intrigue, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ meets ‘Game of Thrones’, an innovative way of seeing the origins of Islam and the Holy Figures from the point of view of our young modern-day hero Laith. We will be drawn into a world that sees the history of the religion’s birth as a wonderful action-packed story full of color. Juxtaposed against the stark colorless reality of the present-day war- torn Middle East it will be an innovative cinematic experience full of revelations, magic and incredible performances all set in and against the beautiful and dramatic landscape of eastern landscape of Georgia."

In accordance with Islamic tradition, during the making of this film no individual represented a Holy Personality. The performances of the Holy Personalities were achieved through a unique synthesis of actors, in-camera effects, lighting and visual effects.
